Pregnant Cultivator, Doted by Big Boss

He started to pace back and forth.

"I wonder if it’s a boy or a girl."

"A daughter would be nice. I have a feeling this one might be a girl." Just the thought of Celeste Grant carrying the daughter he had always longed for made the corners of Javier Sinclair’s lips curve upward, and he couldn’t help but chuckle. "Heh, when our daughter grows up, she’ll definitely be as beautiful as you."

Seeing how happy he looked,

Celeste Grant smiled and said, "Javier Sinclair, are you so sure I’m having a daughter? It could be another son, you know!" ’Actually, I already know from the Demon God that this baby is a girl,’ she thought, ’but I’m just teasing him on purpose.’

As soon as she finished speaking,

Javier Sinclair stopped pacing. His gaze shifted to Celeste Grant’s face on the screen before him, and he said very seriously, "A son is fine too. If he looks like me, then I’ll be just like your ex. As long as it’s our child, I’ll love them no matter what."

’Of course, it would be even better if my wife gives birth to a daughter this time,’ he thought. ’That way I’d have a daughter, and that ex of hers doesn’t.’ The mere thought of a little girl calling him "Daddy" someday made Javier Sinclair’s heart melt.

At his words, the corner of Celeste Grant’s mouth twitched. She rolled her eyes at him and said with a laugh, "My ex would probably lock himself in the bathroom and cry if he heard that."

But then she added, "Actually, I also think it’s a daughter. We’re on the same page."

Javier Sinclair’s eyes lit up. "See! I had a feeling this one was a daughter, too. This is great, just great." As he spoke, his gaze fell to her stomach. "My sweet daughter, when you’re born, Daddy will carve you some little skulls to play with. Then I’ll go catch you a few fluffy Divine Beasts for playmates."

As soon as he finished speaking,

Celeste Grant had the strange feeling that his words were damnably familiar.

A long-forgotten memory came back to haunt her.

’Who was it that once said he’d knock out a couple of skulls for his son to play with when he was born? Now it’s a daughter, and while he’s not knocking them out, he’s carving skull toys for her. I have to say, the aesthetic of this Archfiend of mine really hasn’t changed one bit.’

Thinking of this, she couldn’t help but laugh out loud. "Little skulls, haha! As long as they’re not real, I suppose. On behalf of our daughter, I thank you, her dear father."

His gaze burned intensely as he stared at Celeste Grant.

"Celeste Grant."

She raised an eyebrow slightly.

"Hm?"

Then Javier Sinclair said, "I’m so sorry. You’re pregnant, and I’m not even there with you."

Hearing this, Celeste Grant laughed. "It’s alright! It’s not like you’re not coming back. Look, I’m perfectly healthy. I’m not some delicate flower who can’t lift a finger or take care of herself. Don’t worry, I can take good care of myself and the baby."

’Never mind the fact that here in the Cultivation World, the Bloodfiend Den is full of my own people. Even back then, before I was with Javier Sinclair, I had no ability to protect myself. I was eight months pregnant, hiding and running all over the place, and I still managed to give birth to my son just fine. So now, it was even less of a problem.’

He spoke up, "That’s different. A husband should be by his wife’s side." ’If she encountered a powerful enemy, how could a pregnant woman possibly fight?’

Thinking of this, he said, "Wait for me. As soon as I’ve arranged things here, I’ll come to the Lower Realm to be with you."

Celeste Grant nodded slightly. "Okay, I understand. I’ll be waiting for you."

"Celeste."

He called her name again.

’If she were by his side right now, Javier Sinclair would definitely be holding her in his arms.’

Celeste Grant smiled faintly.

"Alright, stop being so mushy. We haven’t been apart for that long."

He looked serious.

"A day without you feels like three years."

Celeste Grant rolled her eyes at him.

"If you say so."

「Next.」

The two of them chatted back and forth, and by the time they realized it, a long time had passed.

He was the first to speak. "Alright, it’s getting late. You should get some rest. You need to rest more now that you’re pregnant."

Before Celeste Grant could reply, Javier Sinclair spoke again. "Oh, right. What should a pregnant woman eat to stay healthy?"

"Well..." Celeste Grant paused for a moment before smiling. "Actually, I don’t think I need any of that. You don’t have to go to so much trouble." ’My body is perfectly fine right now,’ she thought. ’I don’t need any of the things he’s talking about.’

His expression was serious.

"Celeste, you’re carrying our child, how could it be any trouble? Just listen to me. Here’s what I’ll do: I’ll bring some things with me, like six-thousand-year-old ginseng, five-thousand-year-old Lotus Seeds, and a seven-thousand-year-old Snow Lotus. You can cook the Lotus Seeds into porridge, and the ginseng can be used in a tonic soup to strengthen your body."

Then he began to explain everything he knew.

"Right now, the baby is still small and isn’t drawing much from you. But after three or four months, as your belly grows, the child in your womb will need more and more Spiritual Power to develop. When that happens, the baby will definitely start absorbing your body’s Spiritual Power and even your Cultivation. That’s why pregnancy will be very difficult for you. This Spiritual Medicine can replenish what’s lost, so the baby won’t have to drain your Spiritual Power."

’That part was true, at least.’

Ordinary women often lose their figures and their skin becomes sallow during pregnancy. This alone was enough to show how difficult childbirth was for a woman. Therefore, even in the Cultivation World, it wasn’t an easy task for a female cultivator with her own Cultivation base to give birth.

Seeing his eager face,

Celeste Grant smiled faintly.

"Alright, I’ll listen to you."

At this, she tilted her head slightly, resting her chin on her hand. Thinking about what he had just said, Celeste Grant chuckled softly. "You know quite a lot about this, Javier Sinclair."

Hearing this, he quickly waved his hands, a suspicious blush appearing on his face. He tried to sound tough. "Who do you think I am? How could something like this possibly be difficult for me?"

Celeste Grant raised an eyebrow slightly.

"Is that so?"

"I never thought the mighty ruler of the Demonic Domain would even know about the precautions for a woman’s pregnancy."

He gave an awkward laugh.

"Actually, a little while ago, the wife of one of my elders was about to give birth, and I just happened to ask a question or two."

Celeste Grant just smiled faintly, not calling him out on his little fib.

’Just happened to ask a question or two, my foot.’

’I’m sure he asked very seriously and listened very carefully. It was probably just in case! After all, he’d always wanted a daughter with me, so of course he’d want to know these things in advance to be prepared.’

’It seems he’s really ready to be a good father.’

Celeste Grant smiled.

"Javier Sinclair, you’re going to be a good father."

Hearing this,

he froze for a second, his face flushing.

"Does that even need to be said? What could possibly be too difficult for me?"

At this, he glanced at Celeste Grant and said with a solemn expression, "I may have been a Demon in the past, but I will be very good to my woman. I will also learn to be a good father. Celeste, you have to believe me."

Celeste Grant smiled faintly.

"Mm, my husband. I’ve always believed in you."
